I had several air cooled VW's. First was a '66 Fastback. I had it five years. When I sold it in '90 the clock still worked. Six volt, only car I had that cranked when the temps got to zero. It was all stock with all the heater shrouds and ducts, and the heater was unreal hot! I set a Tupperware container in the rear floorboard and drone 25 miles to work. The damn heat melted the container on one side!
Also had a '68 Van, and a '68 Bug. The bug had been restored and customized. It was nice enough to win a slew of trophies at Bugapoolaza!
Great little cars. I'm sue I'll own another at some point.
